Memories of My Exile (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memories of My ExileEden were closed behind him - behind him, who was driven out because he had eaten of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil?I too had eaten of that fruit, and I too knew good and evil: I had raised my hand for the defence of the good against the evil. Evil was victorious and I was driven from my home, my Eden.There I stood in silent meditation on the bank - but no longer the Hungarian bank - of the Danube, the waves of which were mingled with the tears of the Hungarian nation - and which not far from me grumbled and roared through the rocky pass of the Iron Grates, as if protesting against an undeserved fate.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
